Recent Projects (selected)

Modular composition of SDN controllers: The long-term success of Software-Defined Net-

working (SDN) depends on rapid deployment of new network features using flexible controller

platforms, often referred to as the “app-store model.” This model requires a platform to support

modular composition of applications, just as the OpenFlow protocol aims to support modular

composition of controllers and switch data-planes.

Almost all prior work on SDN controllers has focussed on getting the control system to do what

one wants it to do; very little work has addressed the problem of how to decide among com-

peting choices in a resource-constrained network. I initiated and led the “Corybantic” project

at HP Labs, which tries to dynamically maximize the net economic value of a network infras-

tructure. Modules reserve resources (such as link bandwidth) via proposals, and evaluate each

others’ proposals, under the control of a coordinator. Modules know nothing about each other

except for the reservations, proposals, and evaluations communicated via the coordinator. We

believe that this search-based approach is more likely to succeed than one based on numerical

optimization.

Cloud-network bandwidth guarantees: Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) clouds typically

provide some performance guarantees for CPU, memory, and storage, but not for networking.

We expect many enterprise applications will require or benefit from bandwidth guarantees if

they are to migrate to the cloud. Numerous researchers have proposed approaches for cloud-

network bandwidth guarantees, but we still lack consensus on the best approach. I have led

or participated in several projects aimed at clarifying these questions, including:

• Each research project seems to describe not only a unique approach to enforcing IaaS

2

network guarantees, but also a unique model for defining those guarantees. I wrote

(with Lucian Popa) a survey article describing many such models, and suggesting some

criteria for understanding which ones are most appropriate.

• One challenge is that cloud-tenant bandwidth requirements vary temporally (e.g., Wednes-

day noon vs. Saturday night) and spatially (some VM-to-VM paths are unused, others are

heavily used.) “Cicada” shows that it is possible to predict, via machine learning, pairwise

bandwidth requirements in the presence of both temporal and spatial variation. (With

Prof. Hari Balakrishnan and Katrina LaCurts, of MIT)

• In a team lead by Lucian Popa, we have developed a hypervisor-based mechanism that

supports both “hose-model” bandwidth guarantees (i.e., for the sum of a VM’s pairwise

connections) and work-conserving allocation of spare bandwidth.

SDN switch design: Based on work initiated by colleagues at HP Labs, who ported OpenFlow

to HP’s switch hardware, I initiated the DevoFlow design, which extends OpenFlow so as

to greatly reduce the control traffic required to support complex, rapidly-responding traffic

engineering and similar SDN applications. DevoFlow introduces “rule-cloning” and “triggers,”

relatively simple changes to the basic OpenFlow protocol

DevoFlow creates a dilemma: existing high-performance OpenFlow switches process counter

updates on-ASIC, but this makes it difficult to introduce or modify the set of triggers. Also,

OpenFlow generally creates scaling problems for on-ASIC counters. In response, I developed

the “Software-Defined Counters” design, which exploits high-speed DRAM and relatively cheap

embedded CPU cycles to move counter maintenance into software, allowing better scaling and

much more flexibility.

Scalable data-center networks: Large data centers require large, high-performance, low-cost

networks. Working on projects led primarily by Jayaram Mudigonda and Praveen Yalagandula,

we developed several novel techniques:

• SPAIN: Most high-performance data-center networks require multipath topologies to achieve

high bandwidth and resiliency with low-cost switches. SPAIN achieves multipath scaling

using unmodified commodity switches, with end-host support, through the use of ad-

vanced heuristic algorithms to map the set of possible paths onto a small set of trees.

These trees can then be instantiated as VLANs, supporting multiple edge-disjoint paths

between pairs of end hosts.

• NetLord: Large networks, especially IaaS networks with multiple VMs per server, can

expose hardware switches to large numbers of layer-2 (MAC) addresses. Cheap switches

have small address-learning tables, which leads to pathological behavior with large sets

of active addresses. NetLord uses encapsulation to hide these addresses from switches.

NetLord slightly pre-dates the VXLAN protocol, and exploits existing MAC and IP headers,

rather than requiring a new protocol standard.

• Flying Cable Monster: The use of multipath topologies composed of relatively inexpen-

sive, and hence small, switches creates a huge variety of options: topology family (e.g.,

FatTree or HyperX), switch radix, number of downlinks per switch. Network designers

need to pare down from billions of potential designs to a few good ones. We developed

3

heuristic algorithms to choose topologies that optimize bandwidth/$, including both cap-

ital and installation costs for cables. Our algorithms also try to optimize the physical

placement of switches.

• Scalable Multicast: We expect some enterprise applications will require multicast sup-

port before they can migrate to an IaaS cloud. Existing clouds do not support multi-

cast, probably because inexpensive switches have multicast tables that are too small for

IaaS scales. We developed an algorithm that improves on the prior state of the art (“Dr.

Multicast,” from Cornell/IBM) to support significantly more multicast groups in a given

infrastructure.

Most of these projects involved proposed or successful technology transfers to HP’s businesses.

Co-design of memory hardware and operating system support: For many years, computer

systems designers mostly took memory (DRAM) for granted, especially as it continually im-

proved due to Moore’s Law. DRAM now faces serious constraints for both power and density.

While novel “storage-class memory” may some day resolve the problems with DRAM, we in-

vestigated several shorter-term approaches:

• FLAM: Others had proposed designing main memory as a hybrid of DRAM and flash;

DRAM would hold rapidly-changing data, while flash could hold long-lived, read-mostly

data. Similar hybrids could be constructed using phase-change memory or memristors,

instead of flash. I initiated the FLAM project, which explored the possibility that the op-

erating system could optimize the use of such hybrids, through its knowledge of various

meta-data about individual pages. We provided some initial validation through simula-

tion.

• Energy-efficient DRAMs that exploit operating system knowledge: Traditional DRAMs

use large “row buffers” to capture the locality in memory references. This approach has

worked well for single-core CPUs, but multi-core processing decreases short-term mem-

ory locality. The memory controller thus often fetches a large row buffer but uses only

a small part, before discarding the rest; this wastes significant DRAM energy. Prior work

by Naveen Muralimanohar had demonstrated that fetching smaller units could save en-

ergy, but it was not clear how to choose a fetch size that would be optimal across many

applications. In our “Dynamic Multiple-Subarray Access” (DMSA) design, the operating

system uses a modified TLB and memory controller (MC), and a simple feedback loop, to

dynamically choose the right fetch size for each page. Initial simulations suggested some

value for this approach.

Similarly, memory designers have a choice between error-correcting codes (ECC) and

error-detecting codes, such as parity. We proposed a simple change to the TLB and MC

that would allow the operating system to choose between error correction and error de-

tection on a per-page basis. For pages where the OS could reconstruct the data, error

detection is sufficient and could save significant DRAM energy.

Older Projects (selected)

Asymmetric Single-ISA Multicore processors: The ratio between core size (and power) and

core performance is not constant; small cores tend to have better performance per watt. Other

4

researchers had previously shown that many applications can be migrated between small cores

and large cores to gain better throughput/watt, if all cores support the same Instruction-Set

Architecture (ISA).

I initiated a project based on the observation that operating system code (more generally,

“operating-system-like code”) typically does not benefit as much from the higher performance

of complex cores, nor does it often use features such as floating point hardware. We developed

an “Asymmetric Single-ISA” (ASISA) design, in which the kernel rapidly switched between

cores on entry to and exit from certain long-running system calls. Through simulations, we

showed that ASISA could save energy. We also radically improved the speed of core-to-core

migration in an experimental Linux kernel.

Performance debugging for distributed applications: Large distributed systems are often

hard to debug, and it can be even harder to localize performance bugs in such systems. I led a

team that developed a series of experimental systems to test several approaches:

• Project5: In this work, we assumed that the system components were black boxes –

we could not look at or modify their source code – and we developed several different

algorithms to analyze message traffic between components. Our analyses identified the

causal structure of communication within a system, and attempted to localize the high-

delay nodes on slow paths.

• Wide-Area Project5: This work extended Project5 to wide-area networks, in which net-

work delays are significant.

• Pip: With Pip, we abandoned the black-box model, and instead assumed that program-

mers could annotate their code with a small number of measurement points, and that they

could write “expectations” (in a simple language) about how they believed their system

would perform. Pip would then monitor system performance and reveal which expecta-

tions, if any, were being violated. Pip included a simple GUI and a tool to reverse-engineer

expectations from a properly-running system.

Patrick Reynolds and Janet Wiener contributed significantly to this work, which became Patrick’s

dissertation.

HTTP protocol design and optimization: I contributed significantly to the design of HTTP/1.1,

including the experimental validation of the “persistent connections” model, of pipelined re-

quests, and of certain kinds of prefetching. I also worked on various aspects of caching in

HTTP, including experimental studies and protocol design. Venkat Padmanabhan contributed

significantly to some of this work.

Internet performance: I conducted or led several research projects aimed at improving Inter-

net implementations, including studies of TCP “ACK compression” and reference locality, and

of approaches to reduce or eliminate “Receive Livelock” (with KK Ramakrishnan).

Together with Guarav Banga, I studied the bottlenecks in Internet server performance. We

developed several kernel changes to radically improve scaling of Internet servers, and we de-

veloped the concept of “Resource Containers,” to allow a multi-user server to properly account

for CPU resources.

5

UNIX-based Firewall: In response to the first widespread Internet worm, I developed the

first easily-configurable UNIX-based firewall. The “screend” software was widely distributed as

open source, and was the basis for an early firewall product from Digital Equipment Corp.

Spritely NFS: The NFS protocol does not directly provide cache consistency, which means

that clients must either give up the performance benefits of aggressive caching, or tolerate

unpredictable behavior when files are write-shared. In Spritely NFS, we grafted a consistency

protocol from the Sprite operating system onto NFS, and showed that it could improve perfor-

mance while maintaining consistency. We also developed crash-recovery mechanisms for this

design.

Packet Filter: Mike Accetta and Rick Rashid developed the first version of a UNIX-based packet

filter, which allowed user-level implementations of network protocol stacks, and also made it

possible to develop packet-sniffing tools such as tcpdump. I generalized their design and

made it more efficient, and introduced it into the BSD software distribution. It was ultimately

supplanted by the improved “bpf” packet filter design.
